Wear Wanderlust On Your Sleeve With These Travel-Themed Accessories

Etsy, ModCloth

Wanderlust comes in all forms.

There are the free spirits, who, like dandelion seed in the wind, are happy to float across the world and get excited about wherever they land. There are also the big dreamers, who have collection jars labeled “travel fund” and dozens of potential travel itineraries scribbled in a journal somewhere. Some are planners who always have another road trip or flight booked, lest they live without the excitement of another destination solidified.

Whatever kind of wanderlust you have, advertise it with one of these travel-loving accessories.

ModCloth Keepsake on the Sunny Side Weekender Bag, $90

Modcloth

Every world traveler needs a weekender bag. Suitcases work for the big trips, but if you're heading out for the weekend on a whim, it's easier to just stuff your necessities into an oversized bag and toss it in the back of your car or carry it with you on the plane (cheaper, too). ModCloth makes a bunch of them and they're all reasonably priced.
